Chapter 314 A lotus crosses the lake

"Si'er, take out one of the tea cakes brought by Monk Zhijue and cook with Mr. Yang," Zheng Lang said. Monk Zhijue of Shousheng Temple brought thirty tea cakes, which Zheng Lang regarded as treasures. It was not for nothing. Xing'er donated fifty pieces of raw silk in the name of incense at Shousheng Temple to avoid quarrels. Be careful, there are indeed many benefits. Some people in the court opposed some of his actions, but no one raised any objections to his virtue.

Since Yang Anguo had talked about the temple, Zheng Lang simply said some of the words in his heart. This was also a loyal elder, not Han Qi and Wang Gongchen, so he took out one of the tea cakes and cooked them in a teapot.

Sier shook her head and fan, and the tea smelled so much for a while. Yang Anguo said, "Good tea."

"I'm better off eating, and I'm talking about Buddhism. I'm not evil about Buddhism. The virtues of some eminent monks made me feel very close. The purpose of the two old Buddhists is to promote good and eliminate evil. Their purpose is to promote good and eliminate evil, the old Buddhists' education, the Confucian rule the country, and the Legalists punish evil are the four important schools of the country to establish a country and govern the people. Why should we oppose it?"

"Then the prefect Zheng..."

"You have also seen that not only Yanwei Temple, there are many temples that have various actions that are more excessive than some inferior tyrants. How much does the temple cost a year, how much people need to provide for it, and how much taxes are reduced for the country. If they do not require them to educate the people for the country, they can't even promote good and eliminate evil. What is the benefit of this old man?"

The more you are a scholar who is proficient in Confucian classics, the easier it is to convince Zheng Lang's words.

Yang Anguo was, if there was no accident, Xiao Song was forced by the national finance at the end of this year and wrote a letter saying three redundant and three fees, but it was not what Zheng Lang said, there were three redundant and there were fixed personnel and unlimited personnel, one redundant, that is, redundant officials, the wing army was consuming food and clothing without fighting, and the two redundant. These two redundant words are very one-sided. The redundant officials are far more than unlimited personnel, and the salary is too heavy. Zheng Lang calculated the miscellaneous and the highest annual salary. The salary was reduced to the purchasing power of the later generations, which was equivalent to nearly 3,000 yuan. When he went crazy, even in later generations, no leader of that country had such a high annual salary. Xiao Song was also vested in this high salary system, so he naturally would not say it, nor dared to say it.

The redundant soldiers are not only the wing army, but also the imperial guards. It is appropriate to remove at least half of the imperial guards raised in the capital. The wing soldiers must be cut. There is a huge redundant cost of raising hundreds of thousands of wing soldiers, and any kind of project can be built. However, the wing soldiers can still do some things, repair and repair the local area, transport food and grass, etc. The wing soldiers in the capital are just raised and do almost nothing, which is even more redundant.

The number of monks and Taoists is increasing, and there are still uncertain numbers. The number of monks and Taoists is compared with the number of soldiers and officials. There are three fees. The last section is to envoy the ministers. The governors do not have to be subordinated to the public and use public to help the private. If they are not border areas, they will not be able to build a military governor. If they have already led a military governor, they will not be allowed to stay near the military governors. In fact, they are redundant officials. This is a sequelae left by Zhao Kuangyin. If they have to set up military governors, they will be able to ban the military governors. If they have no military governors in the state, they will be able to ban the military governors. If they have no military governors in the state, they will be able to ban the military governors. If they have a military governor, the military governors cannot stay in the capital. This admonition is positive. The Song Dynasty has many military governors, and the salary is quite heavy. At that time, Zhao Kuang

Yin was able to relieve military power in order to release the military power of the glass of wine, and he was called Jiedu. Now it is no longer necessary, and it is time to cancel it. The second section is that the temples in the capital may have more disciples, or additional lawsuits, and the clothes and food are given. The other place is called offerings, and the land is called permanent residence, and there are no labor and no labor service, and the people are born. If you ask for everything to be dismissed, then the two expenses will be paid directly to the temples. The first section is that the temples are more and more numerous monks and Taoists are increasing, and there are three redundant ones. The temples are fasting and offering sacrifices, and all the days are available. They are all in the name of wishing the emperor's birthday and praying for the people's blessings. One or two things should be taken, and the next one is to follow the original teachings to practice, then the one expense will be paid.

Among Xiao Song’s three redundant and three fees, three of them talk about the disadvantages of temples.

In addition to Xiao Song, many people also realized the disadvantages of temples, but did not do it thoroughly enough. This is a divine power and is quite difficult to deal with. The rulers also need them. Zheng Lang tried to do it and take the lead.

Not only did the temples, but also did some things, and the private salt was always unhappy. Zheng Lang deliberately arranged the others, planted many seeds and sowed some fire. Whether it could start a prairie fire depends on whether anyone supported it. Not only did it, but he also wrote books.

Yang Anguo was very quiet, but like Xiao Song, he was also a master of classics. He was not Wen Yanbo. Wen Yanbo was an example among Confucians, not a universal existence.

Therefore, after hearing this, Yang Anguo nodded and said, "Yes, but Master Zheng, you are not interested in the Shi family, how do you tell me?"

Not only Fu Bi, but Yang Anguo was also worried that there were so many books, scriptures, laws and theories in Buddhism, some great monks were not confused. They were able to speak wisely and had a good literary talent. They could write poems, essays, paintings and playing the piano, and they could do almost everything.

Zheng Lang had never learned it before, but now he is holding the Buddha's feet and going to distinguish and do irrationality.

"Drink tea," the tea was cooked. After Sier scraped off the tea foam and scalded the cup, Zheng Lang took the teapot, poured two cups of tea, and said, "This is the spring water I received from Hupaoquan. How about eating this tea?"

Luyu Tea Classic lists landscapes as the top, water in the water valley is second, water in the waterfall is not available, and spring water is also listed as the top, river water and well water are listed as undesirable water sources. I don’t know if there is any scientific reason, but the spring water in some places is sweet and delicious, far from ordinary water sources. The water quality in Hangzhou is very poor and cannot be changed by manpower. However, there are many famous springs outside Hangzhou city, such as Hupao Spring, Yuquan and Longjing, which are not polluted at this time, and are one of the famous water quality in the world.

The moon is the first to get close to the water. Zheng Lang often brings some spring water back to make tea and eat it.

After taking a sip of tea, Yang Anguodao said: "Good tea, good water."

"Before coming to Hangzhou, I was happy and worried. What I was happy about was that Hangzhou was large, with a large population and a wealthy place. What I was worried about was that Dazhou Prefecture had many problems, such as salt tea, alum, fragrant wine supervision, and temples. What I was worried about was that the small pavilion households lived in poverty, and I didn't like to use harsh laws to govern the people. I was uneasy and did not think of what happened later. Since it was revealed, I simply cleaned it up in one go. Zhang Daliang accidentally involved it and could no longer be good. This is the origin of the case getting bigger and bigger. But it was not my arrangement, but the temples were in my plan. The truth was revealed, the so-called Hangzhou will have five or six times the income, that is, the income of Ping An Supervision Bureau, which is the external income. It cannot be conquered by all force. Overseas are separated by the sea, and our dynasty itself is not known for its force. Martial conquest is the auxiliary method, and it also requires materials to win over. The latter is the main one. It is just that the income is very small, but this very small amount of income will be brought to Hangzhou. Starting from Hangzhou Port will bring a lot of taxes to Hangzhou, increase exports and increase many workshops and industries, and the people's income will also increase. This is one of the internal governance. As well as some other ideas, to promote my strengths and avoid me. My book "The Doctrine of the Mean" also wrote that Hangzhou's shortcoming means that there are many mountains and few arable land, unlike Taipingzhou. Once it is enclosed, it will immediately become a major grain state. But it has more advantages, including the convenience of Zhejiang, several counties, the convenience of the Grand Canal, the scope of access is wider, and the convenience of the Wuyue Canal. It is also connected with the two states and Ming states, which is one of the most important waterway transportation hubs in our dynasty. Therefore, the business is very prosperous. It is this business that has the benefits of mountains. There are many bamboos. I came up with bamboos to make bamboo paper and fruit trees. It advocates the planting of fruit trees. The mulberry and hemp industry is developed and the textile technology is improved. I brought the Weaver Girl here and gradually improved textile machinery to improve efficiency. But whether it is mulberry, fruit forest, bamboo paper and sea trade, those who benefited from third-class or above are all third-class or above, and it is difficult for the poor to benefit. So I used the method of contracting stocks to return the fields to the poor to rivers and lakes, so that the poor people would benefit from water conservancy, and not be harmed by the autumn and slums. It is easy to handle the big households, so what should I use to win over the temple? As far as I expected what happened in front of me, I arranged the white snake and reminded them not to be the Fahai that ruined their families. How many real monks are there?"

He told all his thoughts.

Han Qi and Wang Gongchen are here, Zheng Lang would not say that. These two people are very thoughtful and may make some fabrication. Even if they are brought to the capital, their words will make them change their faces. But if they can tell Yang Anguo and return to the capital, Zhao Zhen will definitely ask, what do you see and hear in Hangzhou?

Not only Zhao Zhen asked, but other ministers also asked, Yang Anguo spread his story, and it turns out that this is the case. If it is this arrangement, there will be no misunderstandings. If there is no misunderstanding, and with the benefits brought to the country, the support will be obtained more.

"In May, Jia Changchao said that Xixia is now mad and sent troops to order generals to leave the court's worries. I personally think that this is not enough to worry, but the country's expenses are relatively large, the savings are not strong, and the people's strength is quite difficult. This is why it is worrying. Since the Tiansheng, many edicts have issued a company to save money, and no one has ever been heard of it. I and several students have made this advice. Fan Erlang said that Your Majesty's savings have not been seen since ancient times. No, Your Majesty's savings are the cost of Your Majesty and the palace. Originally, our dynasty's royal palace cost was very little, even if you let Your Majesty not eat or drink, you can't save much money. Therefore, Jia Changchao said that the world's various ways, if the world is in Beijing, the wealth can be self-sufficient. Shaanxi Youheshuo, you must provide for more than one year. What you rely on is dozens of counties in Jiangdong, Huainan, and Jiangnan, and Hangzhou is the top priority. Although it is very troublesome, how can I relax?"

"Good words, I seem to hear the words of the master."

"I dare, look at me now, I am wearing a long gown, drinking good tea, using good water, and living in a good house. The Queen Mother and Your Majesty have always favored me, so why don't you do anything practical for Your Majesty?"

Yang Anguo was speechless.

After drinking tea, I returned with great emotion and refused. Although we were the imperial envoys, we came to Liangzhe to preside over the salt case. The other cases have nothing to do with us. If we are not convinced, please go to the capital to appeal according to the system. It has nothing to do with us.

Yang Anguo refused in words, and Zheng Lang had already begun to arrange the Double Ninth Festival meeting.

He called Shi Congguang and asked, "Let's take a bamboo house in the West Mountain tomorrow."

"I'll get it tomorrow?"

"If you don't match, you will miss the chrysanthemum flowering period."

"Here." Shi Congguang retreated.

The next day, Zheng Lang hired a flower boat on West Lake and invited three imperial envoys to come to the banquet. The court issued imperial edicts and imperial envoys, but there were many implicitations. While asking for the case, they had to settle the case. During this period, the three imperial envoys were very busy.

However, Zheng Lang is not a person who likes to flatter and be polite. He called three of them to come to the banquet, and had other intentions.

After drinking some wine, Zheng Lang saw a small fishing boat. He waved his hand and called the fishermen over and said, "Let's borrow your boat for use."

The fisherman said frightenedly: "No, the prefect, you will capsize."

"Let me give it a try." Zheng Lang forced himself to board the boat. The boat shook. Zheng Lang actually stood firm. The boat did not overturn. Zheng Lang became interested and was bumped with his feet before he could board the pleasure boat again. The fisherman was puzzled and said, "Magistrate, you are so amazing. This kind of boat can be controlled well."

Fu Bi just laughed, not Zheng Lang was too godly. In order to prepare for the Double Ninth Festival, Zheng Lang first learned to manipulate the boat. For this reason, he drank so many sips of West Lake water. Fu Bi did not object, and stood on the side and watched, gloating while watching.

Then Zheng Lang came up and fought with him.

It cannot be said that Fu Bi is so good, and he cannot take the records of historical books completely seriously, but he is a gentle gentleman with a temper that is somewhat similar to Zheng Lang. Not only Fu Bi, but also gentle gentlemen like Cai Xiang are not very rejected by Zheng Lang. Because of Zhengzhou Poetry Society, Zheng Lang also left a good impression in Fu Bi's heart, and with the cooperation during this period, the two got very close.

This will be a miracle, and Fu Bi is looking forward to witnessing it.

But in order not to let the people know, they all choose to study in places with few people at night.

After getting on the pleasure boat, Zheng Lang said, "Take you to see a place."

He shook the boat to the edge of the west mountain on the west side of the West Lake. Shi Congguang was building a bamboo house. To the east is the lakeside, there were large lotus roots on the lakeside, with lush lotus leaves and green onions on the west side. On the west side is the west mountain. The trees on the mountain are densely packed and green onions. Before the bamboo house was built, it started to build it. But there was a plaque hanging at the door, which was two big words written by Zheng Lang himself, asking Zen.

On the edge of the bamboo house, many people were moving large chrysanthemums.

Wang Gongchen was puzzled and asked, "Why is this?"

"I want to distinguish the Buddha, but there are many Buddhist scriptures. I haven't studied for a long time. I'm afraid I can't say it well, so I plan to spend more than ten days to study Buddhist scriptures here after the tide in August, so I gave it a name called Wen Chan. Look, is the environment here quiet?"

Wang Gongchen pinched his nose, but couldn't make a sound, so he really knew the Buddha.

Zheng Lang picked another big lotus leaf and said, "Bodhidharma crossed the Yangtze River with a reed leaf. There were not many reeds by the West Lake, but there were many lotus flowers growing. The lotus came out of the mud and was not stained, so it was the purest. Buddhism also used lotus as Buddha seats. My Double Ninth Festival was to correct some bad children in Buddhism who were wrongly arbitrarily. I wonder if the Buddha could bless me, and crossed the West Lake with a lotus leaf to show me my way."

"What, cross the West Lake with lotus leaves?" Han Qi and Wang Gongchen said in surprise.

"I really want to give it a try. If it works, I will come here to study Buddhist scriptures quietly for a while, and distinguish Buddha from the Double Ninth Festival. If it doesn't work, I won't come here."

"This lotus leaf..." The three imperial envoys were dumbfounded and were stunned.

"What should I do? I cross the lake with a reed. I am afraid that I don't have the ability of Master Bodhidharma, so I have to settle for the second best and use lotus leaves instead."

But the three imperial envoys didn't say a word. What is the difference between using lotus leaves and using a reed?

Zheng Lang also lamented in his heart that there was no way. In order to win the lead, he had to drink hundreds of cold water from West Lake.

After getting back on the pleasure boat, several beautiful prostitutes looked at Zheng Lang curiously. Su Yuer, the most beautiful prostitute, asked: "Master Zheng, will you study physics?"

This is also one of the famous prostitutes in Hangzhou. I have read many poems and books. Of course, few famous prostitutes do not read poems and books, otherwise they will not become famous prostitutes just because of their appearance. But her question is also the thoughts of the three imperial envoys. After asking, the three imperial envoys looked at Zheng Lang together.

"Is it a study of things? You can try it with a lotus leaf yourself, and you will know?" Zheng Lang asked back without answering.

It's like not saying it.

This incident spread quickly, and it miraculously took less than half a month to spread to the capital from which channel.

Something is happening in the capital.

The country needed military generals, and Kong Dao assisted the evil to punish Wang Deyong, saying that Wang Deyong was similar to Zhao Kuangyin, and the literati had no ability, and his pen was unparalleled in the world. Later, the same was true when he was punishing Di Qing. However, Wang De used his official position in the East Prefecture, but he felt that it was not enough. Wang Yan, the Hedong Transport Author, reported to Wang Deyong, and ordered the prefectures to jump into Xuan City, and Wang De used the market for merchants.

This matter is nothing wrong. The court raised a large number of war horses and prepared a cavalry, but the Central Plains was not suitable for raising horses. It was rare that there were any powerful cavalry in the entire Song Dynasty. It was not until the Hehuang area was occupied that a small number of cavalry gradually appeared in the Western Army.

So what is sold to merchants for? It is for cultivated land.

The goal is good, but it violates the system. Just like Zheng Langxia kills people, Wang Deyong is a military general, and it is difficult to explain it clearly and cannot be taken seriously. If it is taken seriously, 90% of the officials of the Song Dynasty will be punished. However, Wang Yan's words are vicious, and the rumors in the capital will be dismissed Wang Deyong again.

It seemed that when the wall fell and everyone pushed it again, the Wang family was frightened and uneasy. Only Wang De washaved and spoke as usual, but he just didn't accept guests.

Wang Deyong had a deep experience and could not beat him for a while, so he began to break up with Jixuan.

Zhe Jixuan's crimes are being collected.

This is a sad period of history. Although it has little impact, it reflects the mentality of some literati. When the enemy is in front of him, Wang De needs to use such experienced generals to take charge, but he will not go to the front line and can also make some appropriate suggestions in the court, and the cooperation of the Northwest Zhe family is even more necessary.

But what about the channel auxiliary flow?

After drinking a few sips of the West Lake water, Zheng Lang walked down wet from the lotus leaves and said to Fu Bi: "Brother Fu, this is what you call a gentleman. Wu Zetian killed Cheng Wuting, and the Turkic people congratulated him. She killed Cheng Wuting and had a reason to kill him. Why did she start a war immediately, first cut her arm and then smear the Zhe family?"

The most tragic thing is that literati will immediately write history books and will slander this matter again.

If Wang Deyong hadn't said something after Kong Daofu's death, Kong Zhongcheng wouldn't have harmed me, he would have served the king with loyalty. It would have been a pity that there was no loyal minister in the court when he died. This made the civil officials discouraged, and even a gentleman could smear Wang Deyong's life in history books.

Fu Bi doesn't want to answer.

Zheng Lang said: "It's going on in Hangzhou, I really want to go back to Zhengzhou."

"Return to Zhengzhou?"

"I don't want to work with these gentlemen in my old age."

Wang Anshi stood beside him and laughed. This was the teacher who was squeaking. When he reached the point of the teacher, he wanted to "support him for retirement", and the emperor would not let him for retirement.

After saying that, he saw Tong Ming saying, "You are going to Zhengzhou too."

It was Tong Ming's idea to sue Yanwei Temple, but Zheng Lang was quite displeased with these ideas, for fear that he would become even more sarcastic when he was in charge of the situation. It was not that he asked Tong Mingzhu, but that Tong Ming would be able to let himself in the face of many things.

Not only did he have to see Tong Ming away, but he also had to see Fan Chunyou away. He has grown old and learned from him some different styles of life and work from his father, and he has a long knowledge. If it is good, Fan Zhongyan would not stay in Jiangdong for long. After this autumn, Fan Chunyou would come to Fan Zhongyan and give Fan Zhongyan some small help.

The sound of autumn insects is getting denser, and August is coming.

The Song Dynasty was about to fight, and the disaster began again. Xichuan did not rain from summer to autumn. The people were famined. The court appointed Han Qi as the mass appeasement envoy of Yili Road, and Wang Congyi, deputy envoy of Xiranyuan; Jiang Tang was the mass appeasement envoy of Zikui Road, and Xia Yuan, deputy envoy of Zuozangku, to deal with the disaster in Xichuan.
To be continued...
